The Dr. David E. Schob Park and Nature Preserve
The Dr. David E. Schob Park and Nature PreserveThe Dr. David E. Schob Nature Preserve, a 7.4 acre site in the College Hills area of College Station, has been donated to Texas A&M University for the expressed purpose of creating, maintaining, preserving and managing the property as public parkland. The purpose of this proposal is to support full use of this donated parkland as a non-traditional classroom to provide high-impact, multidisciplinary educational practices that are aligned with Texas A&M’s land grant mission in serving the citizens of Texas through teaching, research and outreach activities. Faculty and students from the Colleges of Architecture and Agriculture will engage in evidence-based design, construction, management and research activities on this site. The Schob preserve will provide opportunities to build and relate knowledge about interactions between people and the landscapes they inhabit.
